1) On one of my first trips to Amsterdam, the restaurant we were in was hosting a Bingo Night. The first ‘winner’ was American and couldn’t receive his prize until he answered the question ‘Tell us something you love and something you hate.’ His answer: ‘I love sunsets (awwwwww) and I hate Dutch inefficiency.’ This was met with lots of booing and hissing; I was ashamed to be from the same country (which at times seems far less efficient than most of the Dutch services I encountered — what was he thinking?).

2) On a later trip to London, my traveling companion wanted to visit the museum with the Egyptian and Greek artifacts, but he couldn’t remember which museum this was (British Museum). We happened to be passing the V&A at the time, so we stopped in to ask where we should go: ‘Excuse me, is this the museum with the treasures you stole from the Greeks and Egyptians?’ Sheer embarrassment – I haven’t been back to London, nor do I travel anywhere with this guy anymore.
